Review We had a 6 wonderful nights stay at the Sante, it was truly a relaxing luxurious experience. We were warmly welcomed and shown the extensive facilities of the hotel and spa. The Room The room was huge with luxurious finishes and a wonderful ambience. I have never seen a bigger shower and the freestanding bath was an experience, looking out on the fabulous views. The bed was extremely comfortable and the cleanliness, to the highest of standards. I can’t really think of anything that they could improve! The Staff All of the staff that we came into contact with, from the reception to the restaurants to the spa were friendly and provided exceptional levels of professional service. They have been trained to the highest of standards and really make you feel at home. The Food The hotel is gluten and dairy free, with all the food being fresh and natural. They have set menus that change everyday for each meal. The food was always to a particularly high standard, as was the freshness of ingredients. The breakfast was particularly inviting! The Facilities The hotel has wonderful facilities, including two pools (with amazing views) and a spa with all the services you could require. We used the spa a lot and every treatment we had was excellent. We would highly recommend anyone visiting the area to stay at the Sante. We are already planning our next trip back!

The rooms were great and the area is beautiful. The location being near farms means there are plenty chances of insects entering the room so need to keep the doors tidy shut. Super quiet hotel with only healthy food choices by design. If you are looking to meditate this is your place.

Gem in the Heart of Stellenbosch
Absolutely a fantastic place. A bit off the beaten path, but dead center of the best of Stellenbosch wine country. Great service. Only 10 suites in the main building, so very quiet and relaxing. The spa is beautiful. The food is fantastic and healthy. Yes, it can be both. Great attention to detail. We will be back.

Nice hotel in the middle of nowhere
A nice hotel but completely in the middle of nowhere. If the Uber that you ordered is really coming is not save as some drivers refuse the final 3km over the gravel road.
No breakfeast buffet but a small selection of a la card and health oriented food..
The same applies to the dinner . Only one menue to choose and as it is far away from anything else you do not just go around the corner to grab something.

Great spot that is completely new. Only knock would be to have the outdoor pool heated and more waters available in the room especially considering you're in wine country drinking a lot of wine

amazing ambience
Coming to Sante on dirt road indicated something very quiet and special and it was. beautiful place, tasteful decorated on a big land and beautiful view.
Very big room, romantic bathroom and balcony with dream view.
We just laved it.
Suggestion for management, do something more about food, as people who stay at your place probably would like to eat at spot.
Very simple selection for breakfast: coconut yoghurt with fruit, eggs and boring, but probably healthy muffin. Same breakfast each morning.
We took dinner only once, again seems like same menu each day and quality and taste not fitting to Sante` niveau.
